Teens should dress to meet employers and bring a black pen; their Social Security number; the names, addresses and phone numbers of their school, previous employers, and three references; and a resume if they have one. A few of the employers may conduct on-the-spot interviews. Others will talk to the teens and hand out applications or tell them how to apply online. Twenty computers will be available at the library for online applications.

No advance registration is required. For many students the event will take place during Spring Break, but the time has been extended to 5 p.m. this year to accommodate students from all school districts.
